Maurizio Sarri's S.S. Lazio has unveiled its official line-ups for the highly anticipated Serie A clash against Napoli, scheduled for Friday, April 18, 2026. Kick-off is set for 18:00 CEST at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona. The Biancocelesti will rely on Mattia Zaccagni and Matteo Cancellieri from the start, while Napoli fields Kevin De Bruyne, Scott McTominay, and Rasmus Hojlund in their bid to get back on track.

For S.S. Lazio, coach Maurizio Sarri faces an extensive injury list, which includes Adam Marusic, Ivan Provedel, Nicolò Rovella, Samuel Gigot, and Alessio Furlanetto. Despite the absences, Daniel Maldini makes his return to the bench, offering a valuable option. The match against his former club is always special for Sarri, but the injury problems make the task even more challenging.

On Napoli's side, the team is seeking a vital victory to keep alive their slender hopes of keeping pace with league leaders Inter and consolidate their position in the fight for the top four. The Partenopei come into the match after a 1-1 draw against Parma, which has increased the pressure.

Napoli's absentee list is equally significant, with Romelu Lukaku, Giovanni Di Lorenzo, David Neres, and Antonio Vergara unavailable. However, Amir Rrahmani returns to availability and will be on the bench. The "Fab Four" comprising Stanislav Lobotka, Andre Frank Zambo Anguissa, Kevin De Bruyne, and Scott McTominay are confirmed in midfield, supporting striker Rasmus Hojlund.

In defense, Sam Beukema has been preferred over Juan Jesus, who made costly errors last week. This choice underscores Napoli's desire to strengthen their backline in a crucial match.

The encounter promises excitement, with both teams facing significant league challenges and squad issues. S.S. Lazio will look to seize every opportunity to secure a positive away result, while Napoli will aim for a home victory to reignite their Serie A ambitions.
